Mr Skidmore seemed to me to be doing, very well, the usual job of doing what he was told by the people who run CASA. Then he side-lined one of them. But I'm sure that's just pure coincidence...
Anyway, moving forward and on a completely different subject ...
Having practically run the organisation for the last 15 or so years, I'm hoping JA will finally be appointed to the position that nominally runs the organisation. JA can talk the talk on aviation safety with the best of them. And by all accounts he and the Murky Machiavellian get on really, really well.
All in the interests of the safety of air navigation of course.
